 ==Epidemiology and Demographics==
-HUS has a peak incidence between 6 months and 4 years of age.<ref>{{cite journal | author=Corrigan JJ Jr, Boineau FG | title=Hemolytic-uremic syndrome | journal=Pediatr Rev | year=2001 | pages=365-9 | volume=22 | issue=11 | pmid= 11691946}} </ref>
-HUS and the ''[[E. coli]]'' infections which caused it have been the source of much negative publicity for the [[Food and Drug Administration]] ([[FDA]]), meat industries, and fast-food restaurants since the 1990's, especially in the Jack in the Box contaminations. It was also featured in the Robin Cook novel ''Toxin''. In 2006, an epidemic of harmful ''[[E. coli]]'' emerged in the United States due to contaminated spinach. 183 known cases have been reported, including 29 cases of HUS.
